GIDEON IS TWO YEARS OLD!

Gideon is two! We won't pretend it's all been easy, but most of it's been wonderful. Some highlights from the life of Gid:

A big year for sure, but, like your brother before you there's surely some things you have not done, right? Let's compare:

What hadn't Felix ever done at age two, and Gideon by comparison?

* Flown in a helicopter (though you sure do talk about it often enough): Gid is more into fire trucks. Hasn't ridden one yet.
* Said your middle name: ditto.
* Had a haircut: not so! Gideon has had some subtle trimming here and there.
* Attended an inauguration in person (though you did watch simulcast): Not your fault, no inaugurations to attend, yet.
* Gone to any Dutch island other than Schiermonnikoog or Terschelling: How sad, you've been to none of them, but at least you'll get to visit the Netherlands for the first time ever in a week or so!
* Felt regret: Huh, that's an interesting one. I can't quite put my finger on it, but somehow I think you may have felt this. You certainly don't let it stop you though.
* Had a sibling: Oh yes you have!
* Eaten a steak (though you have had chorizo!): Wow, that's a difference, you've eaten a TON of steak. In fact, you've had chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, crab, oysters, goat, lamb, and buffalo.
* Contemplated anything: True dat.
* Gone poo poo in the toilet without freaking out: Or, for that matter, at all.
* Scratched yourself: Nope, never done it.
* Let us sleep in: You have, Gideon, though not recently, hint hint.

Grandpa's visit

We had a visit from Grandpa. This produced, in addition to the Wild Things reading, a visit to the Autodesk Gallery (if you haven't been let me know and I'll give you a personal tour), pictured here (along with another nice shot or two):

The second shot there is of Grandpa holding Felix up so he could use the 3D photo booth, which contraption produced this:
